Man faces trial for barking at a police dog

[Amattern]

never!!!

I think there is 4 classes of LEO'S

there are some good cops.....then you have good ones that just turn around and act like they don't see anything.......then you have good cops but that would cover up for his blue brothers.....then you have the bad one's....

So, I do think most are good but with flaws to protect the blue line....then you have......

And if one was trying to harm me or my family ie: a police dog on the loose or a cop that has had a bad day.....I would not have a problem defending myself...

These are not just your average dog. They are highly trained and do exactly what they are commanded to do. So if they are attacking you or your family you should probably be looking into what your doing that is against the law, before trying taking out the police dog.

Please do not confuse mocking a moronic statute and a moronic prosecution with being anti-law enforcement, although certainly mockery is certainly justified here. The king has no clothes.

Isin't that kinda like saying you support the troops but not the war?

First of all, has anyone read the affidavit about the incident? Now let's go on to the dog and it's mentality. I have been around many of them. When they are in a police car they are at work. If someone comes up to the car (even a police officer) they will bark. It is a learned quality of the dog. I have also seen a half dozen 1st graders crawl all over a K-9 with no mishaps. I also know that when the dog is working, officers should keep their distance.

If you have ever heard a police scanner? When a k-9 unit responds with lights and siren you will hear the dog in the back ground barking. It knows it's duties and services are being called upon. I haven't read the affadavit either but it sounds like the guy should not have done what he did. Not good to taunt an K-9. I or we don't know what happened afterwards meaning if the officers arrested him for that or for being a butt head afterwards.

If you watch COPS, every police dog does this, they seem to know when it's time to work and time to play

Not to be stupid, but is that not also a reasonable stance? I support LEOs that enforce the law and protect my rights: I do not support a man being arrested for mockingly barking back at a K-9 unit and being charged with "abuse".

enforcement of law and order can't always be À la carte

According to the OP, the man was barking and the dog barked back...

No, it is kinda like a citizen pointing out how moronic this prosecution is.

get away with what behavior?

Introducing dangerous hyperaggressive animals which are obviously uncontrollable and undisciplined into our communities.

yeah because we know that a LEO or dog, do as they are supposed to....and never harm the public, without reason......you might want to pull up them rose colored glasses on occasion....

And before it is said.....I have NO record other than traffic offenses.....speeding 1x and disobeying a auto signal 1x.....

Also, if you have a LEO friend or have a scanner, when the dog is on scene the dispatcher will broadcast that and tell all officers to get in their cars or a building. These dogs WORK and they excell at it.

Most of the time the dog will take on characteristic of the handler. At times we can actually play with the dog with no problems. They like the attention also.

do you know something about this specific pooch that other members don't?

and the public never harms LE without reason

 

[Pocketman]

I think the guy may have been charged with violating:
Lawriter - ORC - 2921.321 Assaulting or harassing police dog or horse or service dog.

 

[GBuck]

Haha, uncontrollable and undisciplined... I'd be willing to wager that these dogs are better "controlled and disciplined" than 90-95% of HUMANS doing jobs. They are very good at what they do. They are controlled by their handler and they do their job with an extremely high success rate. Furthermore, they are not "introduced into our communities, rather, they are kept in their cages and only deployed when necessary.

 

[Destro]

sounds like the defense could make a case for police harassment however...

Walker said he observed 25-year-old Ryan Stephens with his face about 2 inches from the rear window of the police vehicle, barking and hissing at Timber.
When Walker questioned Stephens about why he was barking at the dog, Stephens replied, "He started it. He was harassing me."

And how many of those dogs do you think are police dogs. I'm going to say a very minimal amount.. That's going to be those dogs that have no training or very minimal. Not the 15000$ police dog that has been trained since birth, and continues to be awarded for showing what their training does for them day in and day out.

Like I said, if one of these POLICE dogs are attacking you then... you should look into what you are doing. If they are NOT coming for you then you haven't done anything wrong and you have no worries about having to shoot one.

EPIC! hahaha

Is that like smacking your two year old in the face and then when the cop goes to arrest you for it proclaiming, "He started it!"?

There are SOPs and laws preventing K-9s to be dispatched to runs other than felony violators. The cannot be used on a junevile or used in a simple misdemeanor case.
